Aw, man! That's sweet, even with the goofy chambering.
ReplyDeleteI can't afford it right now, but just out of curiosity, what were/are they asking for it?
ReplyDeleteLooks NIB. Is it?
My weakness and downfall will be a 2.5" Model 19/66 with the "right trigger" and a round butt. There won't be no saying no when I find that right trigger.
LOL@Borepatch
ReplyDeleteGoofy chambering? Harumph!
$900 and no negotiating... add on the 7% Illinois sales tax and it is a bit too dear for me.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to guess "lightly fired." The cylinder has marks from being turned often; the colors on the hammer and trigger look clean. It is one of the nicest 57s I have seen in a while.
If I run across a 2.5'' Model 19 I'll give you a holler.
That is a thing of beauty and they definitely don't make them like that anymore. That said, that price seems a little steep, even in today's market.
ReplyDeleteI would have felt better if it languished on the store shelf for a few months, but as of yesterday I found that someone ran off with my true love...
